4 Days 'til Departure!

Merrilee made it to Orlando yesterday. There was a really nice lady from the local ward that gave her a ride from the airport. The last time Merrilee saw dad was almost 4 weeks ago. What a difference a month can make! He is 25 pounds lighter (his weight watcher friends would be impressed), his head incision is healing nicely, and he is awake and responsive this time, compared to last time being in a coma with the bolt in his head. He is very anxious to get home. He definitely needs the Sport Clip ladies to fix his hair! He is working on growing a mullet. They shaved almost his entire head for the surgery except a section in the back. We plan on having him wear a hat for the trip home. :) The thing that is bugging him the most is his vision. Both eyes work, but are not working together so he still has to wear the patch over one of his eyes quite a bit. Short term memory is still another big issue, but we are hoping getting him home will help a lot. The plan is to still fly him home on Wednesday. We hope it won't be too hard on him.

  1. Yup..his Weight Watcher friends are impressed with the weight loss..but sure a hard way to lose it! We are all happy that Larry is doing so well and is going to come back home. His humor and presence at W.W. has been greatly missed! Keep on getting better each day and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers always! Marilyn Lindberg and the Monday W.W. gang
